It all falls into place
If you do the work
They say everything works out for a reason, it was meant to be
But things only fall into place if you do the work,
Like you won’t get that job if you don’t apply for it, turn up for the interview…
You won’t get the job if you don’t do the qualification
You want get the date if you dont ask the person out…
The work needs to be done
If you want things to fall into place
Sign a contract with yourself
You punch in at your work, do your hours, take your breaks when scheduled, do what the contract requires, then leave
Yet our ideas, whether that’s going to the gym or reading or saving
We just free ball it
We go if we feel like it, or put money into our savings if we remember
What if you wrote a contract out and signed it
Stating all the requirements of what you set out to do
Like every month I will save 10-20% of my wage
Or i will go to the gym 3x per week at this time
It works, my gym requires that you book in before going now,
Which is good because once your booked in you have to show up because if you don’t someone else could have had that space
Sign a contract
And do what you said you would
Study what?
if you don’t learn these things to put into practice, why learn them in the first place?
– Epictetus
Why do you read or take that course, or watch those how to videos and not implement what you have studied.
To say I know that?
Studying on it’s own is useless, knowledge on it’s own won’t do anything.
If the purpose of study is to collect knowledge then you can instead focus your time on something more useful that will impact your life
Because study without implementing is a waste of time,
Learn, but make sure you do something with it afterwards
Comfort is the enemy
-J Cole
When Cole was talking about how he didn’t become a professional basketball player he said that it was because he wasn’t putting in the work,
He said he was playing ball every day, but he wasn’t working with coaches and practicing drills, he was pretending to do something…
Then when his friends pointed out that he was doing the same thing with his rap career
He was like oh shit and it woke him up that he was just working in his comfort zone
So he would write a song or a verse and make a beat before he went to the studio.
He would do 7 minute drills where for 7 minutes he would write.
Comfort is the enemy, comfort cost him his basketball career and almost cost him his rap one too
Do the work
Every day
It is an option
At some point we need to admit that it’s simply just not working
And we need to move on
It is an option
Don’t let Instagram fool you
Those influencers with their shitty quotes
Not everything works out
Life is not a movie
Giving up allows you to move on
Move on to somthing that might work out
Somthing life changing
But first you need to let go
One you have tried every avenue, every possible scenario
Then you can give up
Just know it is an option
And failure is part of life
Failure leads the way
Failure is a prerequisite to succsess
